CORF

The Maginot Line of 1940 is the unit heterogeneous consisted fortification CORF, powerful, and the light fortification (“fortification camelote?” writing Philippe Truttmann in his book “Wall of France”).

The CORF (Commission of Organization of the Strengthened Areas) is created on September 30, 1927. It is charged to implement the organization envisaged of the borders. I.e. that it draws the plans of the fortifications, makes study the new materials which must equip them, and proceeds to the realization of the unit. This is why we give the qualifier of “works CORF” to these fortifications, in opposition to the constructions not CORF, light, built after 1935.
